I did 39 sessions of IMRT followed by ADT. I am just finishing 24 mos of Lupron (eligard), Zytiga, Prednisone.
It is a bit brutal (age 76). The last few mos have been better .
I found myself not giving into fatique and powering through to do the things I enjoy in my shop. I started by picking one activity then accomplish it and resting. Now I'm trying to be active from 7:30 until 11: 30, eat a light lunch, take the prednisone and try to nap. It seems to work on most days. Prednisone is a real batch.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US.

I always blame the prednisone for my fatigue, I have been on that and firmagon since the beginning. I know some have posted no bad effects from the prednisone but for me, that's what I'm going to blame. LOL, best to all
